Because HireIQ Solutions is a United States corporation and information collected on our web site is stored in whole or in part in the United States, your information may be subject to U.S. law. Information that you post in public areas of our web sites will be accessed, used and stored by others around the world, including those in countries that might not have legislation that guarantees adequate protection of personal information as defined by your country of residence.

While HireIQ Solutions takes measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access or inappropriate use by third parties, HireIQ Solutions does not control these third parties and we are not responsible for their use of information that you post or otherwise make available in public areas of the web site.

We share aggregated anonymous information about you with HireIQ Solutions’ clients, partners, other web site visitors and other third parties. We may also aggregate data on an anonymous basis with respect to job qualifications, schooling, age, experience level or other information relevant to the job search or competition among job seekers for any such job. Such aggregated data does not identify users individually, and may be made available to employers, fellow job seekers or community members.

We may supply technology, hosting, hiring management and related services to other companies in order to power recruitment areas on their respective web sites (referred to as “Hosted Career Sites”). Personal and/or demographic information supplied by you via the Hosted Career Sites becomes part of the HireIQ Solutions database, but it is not accessible by anyone other than you, HireIQ Solutions and the company hosting the career site unless you have consented to sharing such information with other parties. If you attempt to register with HireIQ Solutions after registering with a Hosted Career Web site, HireIQ Solutions will recognize your information and you will be able to use the information you provided to the Hosted Career Web site in your HireIQ Solutions account registration.

Information gathered on a page in a Hosted Career web site area or on a co-branded web site may be retained by both HireIQ Solutions and the other company. In that instance, the use of such information by the other company will be subject to the privacy policy of that company and HireIQ Solutions is not responsible for that company’s use of your personal information.

Additionally, if you apply for a position through a Hosted Career web site or a co-branded web site, you may be asked to provide information on your age, gender or race where permitted by law. You should understand that this information should only be used by employers in accordance with applicable law. However, HireIQ Solutions is not responsible for the actions of such employers. All such information provided will be kept separate by HireIQ Solutions from your expression of interest in any job opportunity. Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be subject to any adverse action or treatment from HireIQ Solutions if you choose not to provide this information.
